why fathers matter

The significance of fathers extends from the significance of men. Ever wondered why all the Prophets were men? This may be so because men tend to have a greater capacity for leadership, whereas women are known to have a greater scope for nurturing.

When it comes to parenting, it is the mothers who naturally receive compliments and criticism, alike. Fathers on the other hand, often get over-shadowed for the role that they play. In Islam, there is great emphasis on the status of fathers.
